Operating Instruction and Documentation

4.50 SL

In case of disturbance or defect, secure the lift against authorized person. Phone your service partner.

6.2 Driving onto an obstacle

If the platform or the lifting carriage is lowering on an obstacle, the motor from this side will be locked. The lift switched off if the lifting carriage are not more in the regulation range (approx. 50 mm). An additional protection is the temperature control system in the motor. It interrupt the electrical circuit when it is overloaded. You can not work with the lift. Cool down approx. 5 – 10 min. dependently on the outside temperature. After the locking of the motor, examine the V-belt, if necessary exchange it. Call your servicepartner.

6.3 Function of safety device

The lift is equipped with a safety switching, which controls the wear of the main nut. If the lifting nut is broken, a safety nut which is conducted loose in the spindle, carries the load. After a break of the nut, the lift can only once being lowered in the lowest position. If the lift has reached the lowest position it is not possible to raise the lift again. The lifting carriage of the broken side gets mechanically locked. During the lifting the other side is driving out of the regulation range and switched off the lift. You can not work with the lift anymore. Call the service-partner.

If the safety device is active, Shut down the lift and phone your the service partner!

Switch off the main switch at all repairs and disturbances!

The electrical system may only be opened by trained persons!

6.4 Manually equalisation of the carriage

The lift is equipped with a position measuring system which guarantee the synchronisation of the lift. The electrical control recognises if one lifting carriage is approx. 20 mm earlier at the definite height. The electrical control stopped the motor of this carriage until both carriage have the same height again. After it both motors are working together again. If the carriages of the lift are driving out of the regulation range/switching off window of approx. 5 0mm), the electrical control recognises this and switched off the lift. To reach the normal function of the lift you must equal manually the carriages. Remove the cover of the V-Belt pulley at the top of the lift. Equal the lift: turn the nuts until the

carriages have the same height.

• Carry out the equalisation with the lift only without load.

• Open the electrical box.

• See the DIP-switches on the controller (Pos.2).

7. Inspection and Maintenance

Before conducting maintenance work, preparations must be made to ensure that during maintenance and repair work there is no risk to the safety of people working on

or around the lift and also that there is no risk of damage to equipment being used on or around the lift.

German legal guidelines : BSV (Prescription of working tools) + BGR500 (Work with working tools)

To guarantee the utmost availability and to ensure that the lift remains functional, maintenance work contracts are organised between our clients and their local retailers. A service must be performed at regular intervals of 3 months through the operator in accordance with following service manual. If the lift is in continuous operation or in a dirty environment, the maintenance rate must be increased. During daily operation the lift must be closely observed to ensure that it is functioning correctly. In the case of malfunction or leakage the technical service must be informed.

7.1 Maintenance plan of the lift

Before beginning any maintenance work isolate the power supply. Secure the main switch (lock it). Secure the danger area around the automotive lift and secure the lift against unintentional lowering.

• Check all surfaces and repair if necessary.

• Damage to external surfaces, must be immediately repaired.

If theses repairs are not made immediately, permanent damage to the powder-coated surface may result. Repair and clean damaged areas with an abrasive paper (grain 120). After this is complete, use a suitable paint (observe the RAL Number).

• Check the zinc surface and repair it with a suitable tool. Use abrasive paper (grain 280).

White rust can result from moisture laying in certain areas for long periods of time. Poor aerating can also result in rust formation. Rust may result from mechanical damage, wear, aggressive sediments (de-icing salt, liquids) or insufficient cleaning. Repair and clean these areas with abrasive paper (grain 280). After this is complete, use a suitable paint (observe the RAL Number).

• Examine the condition and the function of the spindle centering (after running delay)

annually, or if necessary. Adjust it, if necessary. Is it not possible to adjust the spindle centering anymore, exchange it.

7.2 How often must the lift be cleaned?

A regular and appropriate maintenance practice will aid the preservation of the lift.

No guarantees can be given when damage (egg rust or fading colour) is the direct result of poor maintenance and cleaning practice. Regular cleaning of all kinds of dirt is the best protection against wear and the formation of rust and will prolong the life of the lift

- Dirty deposits that can cause rust include:

• de-icing salt

• sand, pebble stone, natural soil

• all types of industrial dust

• water; also in connection with other environmental influences

• all types of aggressive deposits

• constant humidity caused by insufficient ventilation

Obviously this is dependent on the type of work being done with the lift, the degree of cleanliness of the workshop and location of the lift. The degree and amount of dirt is dependent on the season, on the weather conditions and the ventilation of the workshop. During poor conditions it may be necessary to clean the lift once week, but cleaning once a month will suffice.

Clean the lift and the floor with a non-aggressive and non-abrasive detergent. Use a gentle detergent to clean the parts. Use an standard washing-up liquid and lukewarm water.

- Do not use steam jet cleaners.

- Remove all dirt carefully with a sponge or if necessary with a brush.

- Ensure that no washing-up liquid is left on the lift after cleaning.

- Do not use aggressive means for cleaning the workshop floor and the automotive lift.

- A permanent contact with any kind of liquid is not allowed. Do not use high pressure devices for cleaning the lift.

- After cleaning dry the automotive-lift with a suitable type of cloth and inject it with a wax spray or an oil spray.

7.3 Adjust the Polylex-belt

If the V-belt was exchanged, the V-belt must be adjusted, again. Remove the cover of the V-belt.

8. Installation and Initiation

pic 18:

8.1 Regulations

• The installation of the lift is performed by trained technicians of the manufacturer or one of its distribution partners. If the operator can provide trained mechanics, he or she can install the lift by him or herself. The installation has to be done according to this regulation.

• Installing the standard-automotive lift in a hazardous location or a washing bay is not allowed.

• Before installation a sufficient foundation must be constructed. If the foundation is already constructed then proof that the foundation conforms to the standard is required.

A level foundation for the installation is required. The foundations must be based in a frost

resistance depth, both outdoors and indoors in a position where the installer believes there is no chance of frost.

• An standard electrical supply 3~/N+PE, 400 V, 50 Hz must be provided. Observe the electrical power supply of your country. The supply line must be protected with a time-lag fuse T32A (VDE0100 German regulation). The minimum diameter amounts to 2.5 mm².

• All cable ducts must be equipped with protective coverings to prevent accidents.

• After assembly of the lift, the protective grounding of the lift must be examined after International Electronical Commission (IEC) guidelines (60364-6-61) before first start-up by operators. Also an insulation resistance examination is recommended.

8.1.1 Erection and doweling of the lift

Before installation the lift, secure the installation area to prevent access to unauthorised persons. Use devices such as cranes, fork lift trucks and supports to transport the lift and avoid accidents.

Before installation of the lift create a sufficiently concrete by customer. The operator is responsible for the installation place. A concrete with a quality of minimum C20/25 and a thickness without tiles and floor pavement is necessary (thickness => see the foundation drawing).

We point out the minimum requirement of the foundation in our plans. The condition of the local realities (for example: the ground under the foundation) does not lie in our responsibility. The execution of the installation situation must be individually specified by the planning architect or by the engineer engaged in statically calculations in the special case.

In case of doubt a test boring has to be performed and a dowel is to set in. Afterwards the dowel is tighten with a torque which is described of the dowel manufacturer. If there are defectives (cracks or hairline cracks) in the zone of influence Ø200 mm, the foundation cannot be used to install the lift on it.

A foundation must be constructed in accordance with the data sheet “foundation plan”. It must be paid attention of an even installation place of the lift because of a straight contact between lift and concrete floor.

pic 20: dowel position 1: column 2: base plate 3: dowel

• Concrete has long chemical perspiration, which favour the corrosion at the base plates. We recommended to provide the surface with a 2 components Epoxitharz floor coating, before fastening the lift.

• Bore the holes to position the dowels through the bore holes of the base plates (pic.20). Clean the holes with pressure air. Insert the dowels. The lift manufacturer demands e.g. Liebig safety dowels or equal dowels of other manufacturer (with licence) but observe the regulation. (bore hole, torque...).. Before doweling check the concrete floor with quality C20/25(B25) if the concrete floor goes to the top edge of the floor. In this case the dowels have to be chosen in according to the description (Dowels without tiles, floor pavement). If the ground is covered with floor tiles, the dowels have to be chosen according to description (Dowels with tiles, floor pavement). Observe the table of FISCHER Dowel manufacturer, too.

• Examine the lining up of the columns with spirit level.

• If necessary put thin metal sheets between the base plate and the floor until the lift is in the correct vertical position and the contact between the base plate and the floor is available.

• Tighten the dowels with the dynamometric key. Observe the regulations of the dowel manufacturer.

Each dowel must be tightened with the demanded torque. Otherwise the normal function of the lift can not guaranteed.

• If the dowel is tightened with the demanded torque, the curved washer lies flat on the base plate. A safe dowel connection is guaranteed.

8.2 Initiation

Before the initiation a security check must be carried out. Therefore use the form: First security check.

If the lift is installed by a competent person, he or she is to perform the security check. If the operator installs the lift by him or herself, he or she must instruct a competent person to perform the security check. The competent confirms the faultless function of the lift in the installation record and the form for the security check and authorises the use of the lift.

Please send the completed installation record to the manufacturer after installation.

8.3 Change of lift location

If the place of installation shall be changed, the new place has to be prepared in according to the regulations of the first installation. The changing should be performed in accordance with the following points:

Unequal height after an lifting procedure „Referenzfahrt“

If you find after an lifting procedure a unequal position of one or more marker arrows, the unequal height must be corrected manually. Switch off the main switch before the different columns will be adjusted. Remove the above cover of the affected column. Turn the spindle with a suitable tool until the arrows are again on the same height. Repeat the procedure if necessary at the other columns. Switch on the main switch if the adjusting is finished.

9. Security check

The security check is necessary to guarantee the safety of the lift during use. It has to be performed in the following cases:

1. Before the initial operation, after the first installation.

Use the form “First security check before initiation”

2. In regular intervals after the initial operation, at least annually.

Use the form “Regular security check at least annually”

3. Every time the construction of that particular lift has been changed.

Use the form “Extraordinary security check”

The first and the regular security check must be performed by a competent person. It is also recommended to carry out a service on the lift at this time.

After the construction of the lift has been changed (changing the lifting height or capacity for example) and after serious maintenance works (welding load bearing

parts) an extraordinary security check must be performed by an expert.

This manual contains forms with a schedule for the security checks. Please us the appropriate forms for the security checks. The forms should remain in this manual after they have been filled out. A short description about special safety devices follows.
